2015 Spring Summer Stripes

1.27.2015

Style Theory:The classic stripe once again dominated the catwalks for spring summer 2015, from deckchair style stripes on tailored suits, to appliqué ribbons, through to bold red and black looks, stripes are officially the way forward...any which way...

This season wear matching stripes or play with variations, mix fine stripes with wider stripes or try mixing stripes with florals and patterned tops..anything goes...

Here are the best striped items on the high street to add your capsule wardrobe now and wear all year..

Wear now with all black or greys, add a yellow or orange soft, oversize scarf for a pop of colour, in the summer mix with coloured stripe tops and pale blue skinny jeans and brightly coloured Tods style driving shoes for an on trend, preppy look.

Maybe one to squirrel away until summer, so cute would look fab with a pair of high waisted black, wide leg trousers and flats.. Wear now with blue high waisted skinny jeans, pointed courts and a longline black blazer, tie a patterned silk scarf on your neck for a bardot-esque, chic look.

This is one of those blouses that hangs beautifully, it sits perfectly on the neck, wear with layered fine gold necklaces and skinny jeans for a feminine look. If you get a chance try on a few of the same size, I always tend to do this in Zara as the cut is always slightly different and you will find the most flattering one on your body shape.

Really 70s, I must admit I haven't had a chance to try these on but will let you know what they are like. I love the colours and would wear with them with a skinny poloneck and heeled pointed ankle or boots or mix it up with these gorgeous snakeskin boots..

Ooh, I've just been eyeing up that blue and white Zara blazer! It would be a totally impractical buy for me, but it's just lovely. In my parallel fantasy life (where I'm an impossibly tall supermodel), I also own those striped Topshop trousers - I'd go all rock chick in them with a band t-shirt and a biker jacket. Love 'em!!

So glad you went for the Whistles jumpsuit on your birthday, it really does look amazing on you, especially with the Breanna's. Welcome to the 40 club, it really isn't that bad at all ;-)

Stripes always excite me. I mean they're not really a pattern are they these days. Up,there with the leopard print shoe as neutrals. You look absolutely stunning Fran and 40 is good but wait until your car crashing your way to 50 - urgh!

Looking effortless and all your looks are always so varied - I don't know how you do it. I'm in the market for a striped shirt too - not sure what fabric yet - but I'll know when I find it. Love the styling of yours - easy chic!
